This Is It was originally the name of a series of 50 concerts scheduled for what would be the comeback of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, which had begun on July 8, 2009 at the O2 Arena in London, and had ended March 6, 2010. However, on June 25, 2009, two weeks before the first show of the tour, Jackson suffered a cardio-respiratory arrest and died. (The official report called the death of Jackson caused by the combination of tranquilizers, which is the prime suspect Conrad Murray, his personal physician.) The concerts would be the first Michael Jackson Live from Special: 30th Anniversary Michael Jackson as a soloist in 2001 at Madison Square Garden and would have been the most important musical end of the decade. Each presentation at the O2 Arena has a maximum capacity of 23000 spectators, it was estimated that more than one million people had seen the show. Randy Phillips, president and chief executive of AEG Live, announced that only the first 10 concerts of the tour had raised approximately around US $ 50 million dollar, 50 concerts have raised about US $ 200 million dollars. It is said that the first innings of the tour were sold in just 4 hours.

Maria Corazon "Cory" Sumulong Cojuangco Aquino (January 25, 1933 August 1, 2009) was the 11th President of the Philippines and the "Mother of Democracy", serving from 1986 to 1992. She was the first female president of the Philippines and the first female president of any country in Asia. A self-proclaimed "plain housewife",[2] Aquino was married to Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr. (born 1932 died 1983), a leading figure in the political opposition against the autocratic rule of President Ferdinand Marcos. After her husband was assassinated upon his return from exile in the United States on August 21, 1983, Aquino, who had no prior political experience, became a focal point and unifying force of the opposition against Marcos. She was drafted to run against Marcos in the 1986 snap presidential elections. After Marcos was proclaimed the winner despite widespread reports of electoral fraud, Aquino was installed as President by the peaceful 1986 People Power Revolution.

Her administration was likewise hampered by several military coup attempts by disaffected members of the Philippine military which derailed a return to full political stability and economic development.

Former Philippine President Corazon Aquino, icon of people power in the Philippines and around the world, passed away at 3:18 am Saturday, her son, Senator Benigno Aquino III, said.

Cory Aquino, Philippine people power heroine, dies By Manny Mogato MANILA (Reuters) - Corazon Aquino of the Philippines, who ousted one of the 20th Century's most corrupt dictators to become a global icon of democracy, died on Saturday after a 16-month battle against colon cancer. She was 76. Her family announced she died in the early hours of Saturday, shortly after a private mass was held in her hospital room. All five children were at her bedside. "Our mother peacefully passed away at 3:18 ampm EDT Friday of cardio-respiratory arrest," her son, Senator Benigno Aquino Jr., told reporters. "She would have wanted us to thank each and every one of you for all the prayers and your continuous love and support. It was her wish for all of us to pray for one another and for our country." Aquino, affectionately known as Cory, was president from 1986 to 1992. But she is best remembered, more than two decades after the fact, as the slim woman in yellow who led the "People Power" revolution that toppled dictator Ferdinand Marcos. US President Barack Obama said: "Her courage, determination, and moral leadership are an inspiration to us all and exemplify the best in the Filipino nation." In events that gripped the world in 1986, up to 1 million people waving rosaries and flowers stopped Marcos' tanks advancing toward Aquino-backed army rebels. When a bewildered Marcos and his wife Imelda fled the nation, it set a stirring precedent for dissidents everywhere, from South Africa to ...

Former Philippine President Corazon Aquino, icon of people power in the Philippines and around the world, passed away at 3:18 am Saturday, her son, Senator Benigno Aquino III, said. The official cause of death was cardiorespiratory arrest. The 76-year-old Aquino was diagnosed with colon cancer in March of last year and was treated with chemotherapy. Last May, she underwent surgery to remove parts of her colon and was brought to the Makati Medical Center (MMC) in June due to loss of appetite. She never left the hospital, as her declining condition sparked a wave of emotion in the country and prompted the widespread appearance of yellow ribbons - on trees, car antennas, and even the Web. "She would have wanted us to thank each and everyone of you for all your continued love and support. It was her wish for all of us to pray for one another and for our country," Senator Aquino said.

1933-2009 Former President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino passed away Saturday morning after battling colon cancer for more than a year. She was 76. "Our mother peacefully passed away at 3:18 am August 1, 2009 of cardio respiratory arrest. She would have wanted us to thank each and every one of you for all the prayers and your continued love and support. It was her wish for all of us to pray for one another and our country. Hinihiling po ng aming pamilya ang konting panahon para makasama namin ang aming mahal na ina," a statement from the Aquino family read. Details of the former president's wake will be announced later, the family said. Once a reluctant housewife, Aquino was known as an icon of Philippine democracy after the EDSA 'People Power' revolution removed the Marcos dictatorship and restored democracy in the Southeast Asian archipelago in 1986. Aquino served as the nation's president until 1992 when she gave way to her successor, President Fidel Ramos. Even in retirement, she remained in the public eye and continued to speak out on political issues. In March 2008 her family announced that Aquino had colon cancer.

Thousands attended the masses praying that one of of the world's democracy icons would recover. Prayers and get-well messages were also posted on her website, coryaquino.ph.
